Chapter 1644: I'll Kill You!!!

Upon his return to the great world from the virtual world, Lin Huang's ability had undergone yet another significant increase.

Not only had he elevated from eighth-rank to tenth-rank, but his abilities in all aspects had leveled up in a manner that could even be described as terrifying.

After a full day, the evacuation of the residents of the Pfister Star and the several other habitable planets in the Devil Hunter Star Zone was finally entering its last stages.

Lin Huang did a scan with his Divine Telekinesis; the Sword Servants were still busy.

After using Divine Telekinesis to sense out Sword1, Lin Huang communicated directly with him via voice transmission, "Inform the other Sword Servants to leave the Devil Hunter Star Zone and the nearby regions as soon as the evacuation is complete. Remember to bring Lin Xin and the others with you. There might be a lord-level battle later on; I'm not sure how far-reaching the impact will be."

Seeing that Sword1 wanted to say something, Lin Huang continued, "I know that all of you have powerful abilities, but when faced with a bona fide Lord, it still won't be enough. If you stay, that would only be more of a distraction to me."

He added after this, "I'm confident about this battle. You don't need to worry."

Only then did Sword1 nod. "This humble subordinate understands."

After finalizing these arrangements, Lin Huang thought for a moment, then sent his coordinates directly to his two allies from the Club—Epic Player and Steel Fist.

In reality, he did not really need assistance now. However, since he had requested their help earlier and they had agreed, he sent his coordinates over as promised.

Lin Huang did not enter cultivation mode after that. Instead, he waited patiently for the Raiders to come.

Sword1 and the rest finished evacuating the population of the entire star zone by the next morning. They took Lin Xin and the others along and departed far away from the Devil Hunter Star Zone.

Epic Player and Steel Fist arrived the next evening.

Epic Player's appearance was that of a young man in his early twenties. Tall and lanky with short blue hair, he was dressed in casual attire.

Steel Fist, on the other hand, was not quite what Lin Huang had expected—they turned out to be female.

She looked about twenty-five or twenty-six and was clad in form-fitting sports attire. Her shoulder-length hair was tied into a ponytail, and her skin bore a healthy tan.

Her limbs were long and elegant, and she had a good figure. At a glance, one could tell she worked out frequently and was the type who loved outdoor activities.

"Hello gorgeous, it's been a while!" Epic Player went forward to greet Steel Fist upon her arrival.

Steel Fist merely shot him a glance, then turned her head to look at Lin Huang.

"So you're Xiu Mu?"

She did a scan with Divine Telekinesis and discovered Lin Huang was the only person left on this planet, so naturally, he ought to be Xiu Mu—the one who had invited the two of them here.

"Yes, I am. Hello, Senior Steel Fist." Lin Huang maintained the necessary courtesies.

Although he might already be more powerful than both of them in terms of ability, his combat strength was not yet at lord-level after all. Moreover, he had joined the Club later than the two of them, and he was definitely younger than they were.

"Before I came here, I thought you were just bragging about having killed a Raider. From the looks of it now, you probably do possess that sort of ability," Steel Fist said bluntly; her personality had always been like this.

She had been suspicious of Lin Huang previously because there was an insurmountable gap between Lords and non-Lords. Moreover, his opponent was a Raider who had a Goldfinger. The level of difficulty in killing them would be even higher.

She had even suspected that Lin Huang was just bait for luring the Club members into a trap.

She had come this time because, for one, she had sufficient confidence in her abilities. Even if she could not fight the Raider, she could run away. For another, she was worried that Lin Huang might be telling the truth. If this turned out to be a genuine situation and Lin Huang was killed by the Raider, it meant the Club would lose a new member.

However, after seeing Lin Huang, her suspicions about him decreased significantly. At the very least, she had no doubts about his abilities now. This was because she could faintly sense danger signals emanating from his person.

She would only experience a feeling like this if she were facing someone no weaker, or even more powerful, than herself.

"Actually, I felt the same way you did. I was skeptical of his ability before I came here," Epic Player said with a smile after Steel Fist's comments.

"But after meeting him, I think it's probably true that he killed Mr. Gate."

Only then did Lin Huang realize that, just as he had mistrusted them initially, they had also been wary of him, keeping their guards up. They had been worried that he was merely bait the Raiders had set up.

"Seniors, since you both have admitted as much, I may as well be truthful. In reality, I had to think twice before asking for your help because I couldn't rule out the possibility that the Club might harbor Raider spies as well. I was worried that I'd be inviting trouble for myself. That's why I didn't send my coordinates to you right away," Lin Huang also expressed his thoughts on the matter.

"Aren't you worried now?" Epic Player asked playfully.

"Not at all," Lin Huang said, shaking his head with a smile.

"Is it because you feel we're reliable after meeting us?" Epic Player persisted.

Steel Fist looked at Lin Huang too, appearing rather curious about his answer to this question.

"It's because of another reason." Lin Huang smiled and shook his head.

He secretly added in his heart, 'Because my current ability is sufficient to handle every threat there is.'

He did not say it out loud because it sounded too pretentious and would not be very amicable to his two allies.

Seeing that Lin Huang was unwilling to say anymore, the two did not pursue the matter further.

After interacting for a while, Lin Huang became a little more familiar with both of them. He invited them into the courtyard and served them tea. The three of them sat in the pavilion and began chatting in a relaxed manner.

It was mainly Steel Fist and Epic Player asking Lin Huang how he had managed to offended the Raiders. They also asked for some details about the killing of Mr. Gate.

Lin Huang answered their questions one by one.

The three of them chatted in this manner for over two hours. Suddenly, Lin Huang's communicator began to vibrate.

He looked down and saw that it was a voice call from an unknown number.

After a moment of consideration, he answered the call anyway.

Once the call was connected, a voice that appeared to come from a synthesizer spoke before Lin Huang could ask who it was.

"I've found you! Lin... Huang..."

Lin Huang narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is this Spy?!"

This individual had not only managed to find out his number but had also called him by his real name. Lin Huang immediately thought of the Raider with the codename Spy.

"Don't hang up yet. I have a question for you."

Hearing the other fall silent, Lin Huang continued, "Were you the one who killed Yang Ling?!"

"So you were the one who wiped out Yang Ling's information! Over this period, his lady friend probably has been hiding with you all this time." Despite the synthesized nature of the voice, Lin Huang could hear the excitement in it. "All that looking high and low, and I stumble upon her whereabouts by sheer blind luck!

"Lin Huang, more and more I'm beginning to look forward to meeting you."

"I'm looking forward to meeting you too..." Lin Huang's tone suddenly turned icy, "And then I'll kill you!!!"
